Charlie Songtext
von Devon Gabriella

I had a dream that you were off your face
Your cheeks were burning red and you were saying my name
Almost called to ask if you′re okay
I know it's not my place, it′s for the better, babe

Now he's reaching down to touch my jeans
And I like the way it's hard to breathe
And I close my eyes but all I see is you
Naked blue

I don′t love you anymore
But when Charlie takes your shape
I′m still waiting for my body to play catch up with my brain
It's a game of tug of war
It′s like fever I can't break
Something bittersweet stuck in my teeth
A stubborn aftertaste

And I want him to stay
Won′t you let me catch a break?
If I don't love you anymore
Why are you still in the way?


I choose to chalk it up to force of habit
Five years of practice, still breaking the pattern
When I say your name by accident
Oh, I swear it′s not a Freudian slip
'Cause I promise that I'm over it
I stopped crying, it took time but

I don′t love you anymore
But when Charlie takes your shape
I′m still waiting for my body to play catch up with my brain
It's a game of tug of war
It′s like fever I can't break
Something bittersweet stuck in my teeth
A stubborn aftertaste

And I want him to stay
Won′t you let me catch a break?
If I don't love you anymore

And I almost called him by your name
Subconscious ghosts and ghosts of shame
All the same, it′s steady aim
Baby, all the same, it's steady aim
The love we lost, the love we made
What if I never find escape?
All the same, it's steady aim
Baby, all the same, it′s steady aim


I don′t love you anymore
But when Charlie takes your shape
I'm still waiting for my body to play catch up with my brain
It′s a game of tug of war
It's like fever I can′t break
Something bittersweet stuck in my teeth
A stubborn aftertaste

And I want him to stay
Won't you let me catch a break?
If I don′t love you anymore
Why are you still in the way?

(Mm, mm)
Why are you still in the way?
(Mm-mm, mm)
